Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
The article discusses the development of a digitally synthesizable architecture for Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) using Skywater Open PDK 130 nm technology. It explains the importance of SerDes in high-speed communication and the process of converting parallel data into a serial stream for transmission.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledSerializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is the most important functional block used in high-speed communication.
SerDes converts parallel data into a serial (one bit) stream of data that is transmitted over a high-speed connection, such as LVDS, to a receiver that converts the serial stream back to the original, parallel data.
A global CLOCK signal is present to sequence the serialization and deserialization of data from one block to another.
